-    Changes to First Aid box’s contents!

Dear reader,

First off, a happy New Year to our Jewish readers. I spent this weekend celebrating this special event with some friends. Two nights of several food courses and I’m sure I’ve gained a kilo or two!

There were also recent changes to the contents you should include in your workplace’s first aid box. One of the most important is that you may decrease the following quantities by half:

Item #1:    Wound cleaner/antiseptic (100ml)
Item #8:    4 x Triangular bandages
Item #9:    4 x roller bandages (75mm x 5m)
Item #10:  4 x roller bandages (100mm x 5m)
Item #14:  4 x first aid dressings (75mm x 100mm)
Item #15:  4 x first aid dressings (150mm x 200mm)
Item #17:  2 x pairs (large) and 2 x pairs (medium) disposable latex gloves
Item #18:  2 x CPR mouth pieces or similar devices

For the full contents list, keep an eye out for your next update!

In the name of safety,

Christel Fouché
